Katia downgraded to tropical storm as it moves into Mexico

09 de septiembre de 2017, 10:45Mexico, Sep 9 (Prensa Latina) After Category 2 hurricane Katia hit Mexico last night, it caused heavy rains in the states of Veracruz, Tabasco, Oaxaca, Puebla and Hidalgo.

The storm later weakened to a tropical depression as it moved into the interior of Mexico, but it could still dump heavy rains on areas that have absorbed large amounts of precipitation and been shaken by a massive quake in recent days. The storm's center is located about 125 miles north of Veracruz, Mexico, and is moving southwest at 7 mph.

The storm is expected to make landfall in Mexico's southeast coast late Friday or early Saturday.

Katia, a category one hurricane, was around 195 miles northeast of Veracruz at 12:00 GMT Thursday - with sustained winds of 80 miles (129 kph) per hour and gusts of 96 mph (154 kph), according to the National Meteorological Service of Mexico.
